So ~ So People…

I am in the middle of Georgia, and it is more than just Atlanta. I cannot get this thought out of my mind, and I thought of making another list to finally set this thought free…

To So – So Parents

  1. A seven year old or less SHOULD NEVER GO TO A PUBLIC RESTROOM ALONE!!!!
  2. A child shouldn’t touch everything in a store..
  3. A child shouldn’t be allowed to be in the toys section without you. (My son thought he was there alone, but I was always behind him).
  4. A baby one year old should NEVER have a lollipop in their mouth. (Unless the pop is too big for their mouth, so they won’t choke. Then again sugar isn’t good for their teeth, unless you want them to spend a lot of time in a dentist seat?
  5. Sorry, but if my child ever raised their voice or hand to me – 

Let me just say, he or she would never do it again. Yes, kids will test you, but you let them know at an early age you are the ones in control and not the other way around.

I believe I can stop here and move on to something more pleasant. Well, I am working on a baby blue crochet project now. I think I will prepare dinner and get back to that….

A nice way to end my Saturday…

Friend or Foe?

“One does not ask for a blessing to get a blessing”

The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, And he addeth no sorrow with it.

Proverbs 10:22 KJV

https://bible.com/bible/1/pro.10.22.KJV

Blessings are upon the head of the just: But violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.

Proverbs 10:6 KJV

https://bible.com/bible/1/pro.10.6.KJV

By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: But it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.

Proverbs 11:11 KJV

https://bible.com/bible/1/pro.11.11.KJV

I work hard to stand in my faith, to walk that straight line, and always showing who I am. I don’t get jokes, so I don’t joke around with others, and yet people will be people.

Some will take what they want by force or by trick. They believe they are right and all you can do is pray they don’t hurt you or someone else as they push their way through. 

Remember people are people no matter if by blood or they say they are your friend. Hold those who are real close, and anyone listen carefully so they won’t hurt you.

Online Traveling #9: Florida

When I think about Florida I think about DisneyLand, beaches, rain, and alligators. I know there is more to this state than these four words, but I am at a loss as to what that could be. I wonder if I am the only one with this thought? 

It is a good thing my next trip online is Florida. I will have my answer and see how much more I can learn about this state. Who knows I may find that I would like to visit it in reality one day.

{} Florida US State

Description Florida is the southeasternmost U.S state, with the Atlantic on one side                                 and the Gulf of Mexico on the other. It has hundreds of miles of beaches. The city of  Miami is known for its Latin-American cultural influences and notable arts scene, as well as its nightlife, especially in upscale South Beach. Orlando is famed for theme parks, including Walt Disney World. — Google {}

10 Best Places to Visit in Florida – Travel Video  â€˘May 12, 2021

Touropia                  

Check out all the places seen in this video: https://www.touropia.com/best-places- 

When most people think of Florida, they think of sunshine, theme parks, orange juice and alligators. But this former Spanish colony, which became the 27th state to enter the Union, is much more than that. Bordered by the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Gulf of Mexico on the other, it has mile upon mile white sand beaches. Its moderate  climate makes it a popular tourist destination all year round. Here’s a look at the best places to visit in Florida.{}

#1 This video spoke of pretty much what I thought Florida was hot and too many people. Some may say I worry too much, but I will be keeping my mask on when I am out in the public. I will also still not be in a crowd… Moving on….

Ten “Secret” Places in Florida – Things to see in Florida that Tourists Don’t Know About. •Sep 7, 2020

Florida With Five  It is hard to keep anything in Florida a secret, but there are some places that aren’t well known! We personally plan to visit each and every one of the spots on this list – and you better believe that we plan on taking all of you along with us. {}

#2 This video was a surprise to me, not because of the places they talked about, but because they weren’t actually there. My first thought was to click off, because I didn’t think I was going to get any information from this video. I was Wrong. I found myself wanting to visit a few of the state parks, like The Falling Water State Park seems like a cool place to visit and take beautiful pictures.

{}https://youtu.be/jZH6x0VQN-I     #floridakeys #keywest #travelguide                           THE ULTIMATE FLORIDA KEYS TRAVEL GUIDE / KEY WEST 2021 • Feb 25, 2021

Flourish Ever After  We escaped the worst two weeks of winter and drove down to a tropical paradise – the Florida Keys! Behold – the ultimate Florida Keys travel guide is born!!! What to do and where to eat in the Florida Keys. Still dreaming of those crepes. You’ll have to watch to see where. What is your favorite thing to do in the Florida Keys?{}

#3   I only enjoy looking at the water and if I ever get on a boat it will be a big one. I did enjoy seeing the places they went and the pictures of what they were eating made me want to try something new as well. 

I was thinking it would have been nice to see more pictures as they were driving to their next designation. If you like the idea of being in and around water I hope this video gave you some good ideas…..

** A Side Note:  There are a few other cities in Florida and sorry, but I am not going to go into a part 2 or 3 for this state. The picture looks nice to visit, but the heat really isn’t drawing me there. I will list a few places and it will be up to you if you want more info and if one REALLY stands out to me. I will give more info.

  1. Sarasota, Florida      – https://www.visitsarasota.com/                          https://youtu.be/dI2mmo2osog
  2. Melbourne, Florida    – https://www.melbourneflorida.org/
  3. Fort Myers, Florida – https://www.fortmyers-sanibel.com/ – If you click on this link there is a free guide of things to do before you actually go there/ if you want to go there? I liked that idea and even clicked on it myself. I also liked that people were still in masks. One can still be out and about and be safe. If I do go, it will be in the winter time.

Another List…..

I got up with a plan and was ready to set it free, but life doesn’t always go as planned. If we start making a list of everything that goes wrong. Would that list become hurtful words or if we counteract every good thing that came from that list turn into a smile?  

{} If thou faint in the day of adversity, Thy strength is small.

Proverbs 24:10 KJV  https://bible.com {}

Some may even say it is a waste of time to let your feelings out either in written words or talking them out with someone else. Words are more than just words, they are feelings, they can be the truth, and if the truth hurts? 

We either stand strong and fight through them or we run and let them take over our lives. I choose to stand strong and continue to write out the good along with the bad. The bad will not win within my list.

List #1 List #2

  1. Go out early ~ Didn’t charge my phone
  2. Mind changing ~ Phone 18%, but still on
  3. The Sun/Heat ~ No dancing, just walking
  4. At least 30 minutes ~ Only 25 minutes

The question is: Which is the good list and the bad list? I may not have been able to get out as early as I liked or walked as long as I wanted, but I didn’t let my bad list hold me back from being a better me.

The time I spent outside walking I not only got in some steps, but some much needed vitamin D (that didn’t come from a bottle). In the end both of my lists were good. 

I was able to see a bird or two (one day I am going to get a better camera so the next time I come across something worth taking a picture I can). I actually stood watching them go about their business without a care in the world. 

My steps even took me a few blocks out of my way in a different direction then my normal walk. If the sun wasn’t so hot, I could have walked longer, then again I enjoyed every step, and it was a good start of my day….

A Q & A from Traveling Online….

I am still tripping over the fact that there are two Newarks? One is in Delaware and the one I know of is in New Jersey, and like most believed that was the only one. I am taking a side step on my traveling across America online to learn the difference between these two states..

It has been said, “One is never too old to learn,” or “we learn something new every day,” and the saying’s are endless….

{} Newark City in Delaware

Description: Newark is a small city in Delaware. It’s known for its green spaces, like Rittenhouse Park, with its trout-filled creek. On the outskirts, White Clay Creek State Park has miles of forest trails, plus a late – 1700s mansion on the estate of Judge Morris. A paith circling Newark Reservoir offers city views. The University Museums at the University of Delaware include collections of art, plus the Mineralogical Museum. – – Google. {}

#1 This is one time I wish there was just music. There was some nice information, but I would have liked less talking. I guess it was just a little on the slow side for me.

NEWARK – Finding new things right where Live,,, Newark, Delaware  • Jun 19, 2020

Brandy Tronconi Photography

While walking in the town I live and travel through on a daily basis, I found a cute little boutique, Vloom, that I have never seen before and ate in a restaurant, Santa Fe, I have never been to.

Bloom is located at 165 east Main Street, Newark, Delaware. Website: www.bloomfolly.com facebook:@ bloomfolly Instagram: bloomdelaware. {}

#3 This video was real. She talked about the area, how it is and how it was and hopeful how it would return as she walked. She passed a church with no info, or words of any kind, and I almost stopped watching. 

Well, I did stop the video, but clicked on play again. I did like the flow of what I had seen and was going to get over not knowing the answer to my question. 

To my surprise I was “Happy” when she went into a little store called ‘Bloom’ that made me think of “Bell-books & Candles” from the TV series Good Witch. I may not never get to go there, but there is a website and I can’t wait to see if I like something worth buying. I am pretty sure I will…

**I was only going to do 2 videos on Newark Delaware, but I got in three. (yes, I watched a few others, but nothing worth watching twice). Time to go to Newark, New Jersey…

{} Newark  City in New Jersey                                 Description  – Newark is a New Jersey city, home to Newark Liberty International Airport. The New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) hosts big-name concerts, dance performances and other shows. Newark Museum’s broad art collection features American paintings and sculptures. Branch Brook Park offers pathways, lakes and abundant cherry trees. The huge Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart was built over decades, starting in 1898. – Google.{}

Newark NJ Downtown/Newark NJ Broad & Mark Street [April 2021]

Street Cruise

In this video explore Newark NJ, Newark NJ Broad and Market Street, Newark NJ Penn Station, Newark NJ Downtown.{}

#4 This video didn’t need any  words to explain what was being shown and the soft music in the background was nice as I watched this city while I worked on my orange & blue project.

** I guess this is the only video I will post about Newark, NJ. It is true there are a few areas that aren’t good to live in, but I am sure there has to be some nice areas there too? I don’t really know, because this was the only video I found. 

I should keep looking, but I am so over it. Let me recap on the differences between these two cities. Newark, DE looks to be a nice area to lose yourself in a nice walk through town and it felt welcome. One shouldn’t go to  Newark, NJ  unless they are used to walking into a Real world area.
